Take it to a professional for a setup. He or she will be able to determine if you have enough saddle height to lower it to achieve your preferred string height. He or she should also check the string height at the nut and lower it if it is high.

The truss rod is there only to adjust the amount of curvature in the neck, not to adjust string height.

If you want to take measurements of the string height on the guitar who's action you like, and take measurement on the one that is too high, you can determine how much the one that is too high needs to be lowered and if there is enough saddle to do so. If you want to do that, I can tell you how to do so.
